**CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE** Andrew Marcus posts a video montage of Andrew Breitbart's run-ins at CPAC in which the latter was visibly angry. However, language aside, it is extremely refreshing to see someone like Breitbart go on offense. He does so, in part, because he understands the tactics of Saul Alinsky. In particular, the Alinsky tactic that applied at CPAC is Rule #5, which states:

Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It's hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

In the twisted mind of the Alinsky-ites, that's a "heads I win, tales you lose" tactic. In the mind of someone like Breitbart, who knows what they're doing, it's an invitation to Layeth the Smaketh Down and finish it off by calling them out for using Rule #5.

Yes, Maxine Waters does it again. On display for the entire world to see is her complete inability to understand where money comes from. After watching this, I found myself resenting Waters not just because she's part of the problem in Washington but because she actually made me feel bad for Ben Bernanke, which I also resent people making me do.

Thanks a pile, Maxine.

Also, keep your eye on the guy sitting in front of Maxine. Watch as he turns around to look at her - presumably in an attempt to better understand her nonsense - then turns back, with his expression in full view of the camera and displays a priceless look that basically says, "what the %@*&^ is she talking about?"
